Difficulty Chewing
Are Your Jaw Experiencing Trouble While Chewing?
Difficulty chewing or discomfort in your jaw can be a sign of an underlying issue, often linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. These disorders affect the joints and muscles responsible for jaw movement, leading to pain, stiffness, or clicking sounds when chewing or speaking.
Common causes of chewing difficulties include:
- Stress or teeth grinding (bruxism) causing muscle tension.
- Misaligned bite or jaw joint.
- Arthritis in the TMJ.
- Injuries or trauma to the jaw.
